Vail Daily: "In a groundbreaking deal finalized last week, the nonprofit Colorado Water Trust spent $130,000 to buy 800 acre-feet of water from Howard (Scotty) and Jeanette Moser, owners of the Slate Creek Ranch. The water will be dedicated to meeting instream flow requirements in Boulder Creek and the Lower Blue, instead of being diverted for irrigation. Flows in Boulder Creek will now be significantly higher during the late summer and early fall."
There were reports of trout doing back flips in celebration of the heightened in-stream flows.
Fort Collins Coloradan: "To put it mildly, the Poudre River is in demand."
